Patent CA-2152246-A1 (CA)
Title: Plastic Bucket and Lid
Inventor: VON HOLDT JOHN W SR
IPC: B65D1/40
Filed: 1995-06-20
Abstract: A plastic bucket  has  an  annular  lip  and typically an attached plastic lid.  The lid defines a peripheral, outer, annular wall which defines an outer wall of an annular recess of the lid.  The bucket lip occupies the recess in locked, sealed relation with the lid.  The bucket typically defines only a single, annular undercut which extends diagonally inward typically for a distance which is no more than about one quarter inch.          This permits the bucket to be shaped in a manner to permit  the  use  of  present-day  automated  filling machinery, while the bucket is capable of being molded without a collapsible core.  In the portion of the bucket defined by the undercut, the bucket may include integral, diagonally  positioned  strengthening  ribs  which  are disposed in crossing array, to improve the hoop strength of the bucket adjacent the annular lip and the open mouth defined thereby.  Also, a circumferential tear strip is typically provided in the outer, annular wall of the plastic lid.  If desired, the outer, annular lid wall may define a lower edge which resides in an annular recess on an upper surface of a flange carried by the bucket.  This prevents prying of the outer annular wall outwardly by a screwdriver or the like, which forces the container to be opened in a tamper-indicating way by tearing of the tear strip.

Title: Clock recovery circuit employing delay-and-difference circuit and trajectory classification
Inventor: NAKAMURA SEIZO
IPC: H04L25/06
Filed: 1995-07-27
Abstract: A clock recovery circuit receives an input signal having an eye pattern and takes differences at certain intervals to generate a differential signal.  A set of comparators detect timings at which the differential signal matches different levels, and generate pulse signals at these timings.  A classifying circuit classifies trajectories of the differential signal by detecting certain sequences of these pulse signals, and activates a gate signal when these sequences are detected.  A delay circuit delays one of the pulse signals to create a delayed signal.          A gate circuit outputs the delayed signal as a timing signal when the gate signal is active.  A phase-locked loop generates a clock  signal synchronized to the timing signal.

Patent CA-2156610-A1 (CA)
Title: Voice command control and verification system and method
Inventor: RABIN MICHAEL D
IPC: G10L15/06
Filed: 1994-12-28
Abstract: A voice command control and verification system and method stores for each authorized user, one or a series of speech models of voice commands or phrases uttered by the authorized user. Each speech model has an associated action component which specifies the specific action that the authorized user desires in response to the issuance of the corresponding voice command. Each user has a means of asserting his or her claimed identity to the system, preferably without an overt action such as the entry of digits. When an identity is asserted (501), and a voice command is thereafter spoken by a person, the system first matches a model of the voice command against the stored models for the user having the claimed identity (509). If there is a match, so that the voice command can by uniquely interpreted as corresponding to its associated action component, the system then verifies the claimed identity of the user by comparing the vocal characteristics contained in the same command with the vocal characteristics of the stored mode. Upon successful verification (513), the command is executed in accordance with the associated action component (515). The user of the system has thus issued only a single command to both operate the system and to verify his or her identity.

Title: Tire curing bladder with improved release characteristics
Inventor: PATITSAS GEORGE PHILEMON
IPC: B29D30/26
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: Disclosed are expandable bladders for use in curing presses for rubber compositions such as pneumatic tires.  The bladders are a crosslinked elastomer comprising an isobutylene rubbery polymer. The bladder composition includes corn oil which improves the release characteristics of the cured bladder from a tire innerliner cured in contact with said bladder.  The improved release characteristics have been observed to allow rubber compositions such as tires to be molded with fewer defects caused during release of the bladder from the tires or caused by abraded or deformed bladders.  The use of corn oil also has been observed to increase the useful life time of the bladder allowing more tires to be cured without changing bladders.  A preferred isobutylene rubbery polymer is a brominated copolymer of isobutylene and p-methylstyrene.  The bladder compositions have also been observed to have an enhanced flexibility due to the corn oil.

Title: Engine Exhaust Gas Deflection System
Inventor: JENKINS JULIAN L
IPC: B64D33/04
Filed: 1994-12-14
Abstract: Nozzles (3, 5) for discharging high velocity air are positioned on either side of an aircraft engine exhaust duct (1) exit. High velocity air is discharged tangential to an outer surface of each nozzle (3, 5) and follows the contour thereof. The nozzles (3, 5) are positioned so that when the high velocity air separates from the outer surface of the respective nozzles (3, 5), it flows outwardly relative to the aircraft's fuselage structure. The high velocity air from the nozzle (3) closest to the aircraft's fuselage structure impinges on the exhaust gas stream (35, 37), deflecting the stream away from the fuselage (43). The high velocity air from the nozzle (5) furthest from the fuselage creates a low pressure area which deflects the exhaust gas stream (35, 37) away from the fuselage. In combination, the two nozzles (3, 5) deflect the exhaust gas stream (35, 37) away from the fuselage to a significant degree.

Patent CA-2180622-A1 (CA)
Title: Leaching process
Inventor: LANDFORS JOHAN
IPC: D21C11/02
Filed: 1996-07-05
Abstract: An increasing problem with the pulping chemical recovery system,  is the presence of chloride and potassium in the recovery boiler. Chloride and potassium increase inter alia the stickiness of carryover deposits and dust particles to the recovery boiler tubes, which accelerate fouling, corrosion and plugging of the recovery boiler. As the environmental legisla-tion becomes more stringent,  the degree of system closure increases. The present invention relates to a process by which the collected precipitator dust is leached, at a temperature exceeding 50°C,  for a residence time sufficient to get a chloride and potassium enriched leach solution and to remove at least a part of the content of metal ions in a solid phase. Said leach solution is electrochemically treated, preferably in an electrodialysis cell, in order to remove at least a part of the chloride and potassium therein. By the present process, the problem of sticky deposits in the recovery boiler can be substantially reduced. This means an improved energy effi-ciency as well as a higher degree of recovery of the pulping and bleaching chemicals.
